Boyhood Island
An irresistible story of childhood adventure from the international phenomenon, Karl Ove KnausgaardChildhood is exhilarating and terrifying. Adults occupy godlike positions of power, benevolent in the case of his doting mother, tyrannical in the case of his cruel father.In the now infamously direct style of the My Struggle cycle, Knausgaard describes a time in which victories and defeats are felt keenly and every attempt at self-definition is frustrated. For the young Karl Ove, new houses, classes and friends are met with manic excitement and creeping dread.
`Knausgaard finds the sublime in the everyday... This is a book about family, memory and how we never become quite what we set out to be. Boyhood Island reverberates with the joys and anxieties of early youth, and Knausgaard brilliantly recreates their exaggerated feel'Times Literary Supplement
